A container for hazardous material has an outer shell, an inner cylindrical tank for hazardous material, resilient filler material between the shell and the tank, flexible, impervious diaphragms fixed within the tank and extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the tank to provide chambers adjacent each end of the tank, and an arrangement to pressurize and de-pressurize the chambers. The flexible, impervious diaphragms act as an energy absorbent in case the container is subjected to a sudden load and in addition the diaphragms allow for thermal expansion or contraction of the hazardous material in the tank.

A container for hazardous material comprising (a) an outer shell, (b) an inner cylindrical tank to be substantially filled with hazardous material, (c) resilient filler material between the shell and the tank, (d) a first flexible, impervious diaphragm member fixed within the tank and extending in a plane substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tank to provide a first chamber adjacent one end of the tank free of hazardous material, and (e) means to pressurize the chamber by admitting a gas thereto and thereby allow for the expansion, contraction and movement of the hazardous material by flexing of the diaphragm member.
